Review of John Carter (2012) by Cameron F — 04 Aug 2015
I LOVE Andrew Stanton and for his first Live-Action film, this wasn't bad! The problem is this was too faithful to the book, which was out-dated and thus makes this movie a little out-dated. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage, but I think in this day and age, you have to treat it like the way Peter Jackson treated Lord of the Rings and update it to modern storytelling more.
Beyond that, it's creative and fun to watch. Not the greatest sci-fi out there, but feels in vain of the 80s Disney Live-Action films that were just doing their own unique thing, even thought it wasn't the greatest thing out there.
